Default 01 Accord Turbo and having problem

[IMG]I just installed the T3/t4 Hybrid Greddy turbo kit for the past three days on my Accord 01, 4cyl and everything looked straight to me. I tried to test drive it to see any leaking with slow speed first, but when I step a little heavier on the gas peddle to about 50-55 mph there is a lost speed in my car and there's a weard noise. It sounded like there's not enough air..Does anybody knows what's going on?? Or does it have to do with the Vacuum Sources? About the Vacuum sources, i connect the Vacuum source from the BOV together with the Wastegate Vacuum source and used a T fitting and connect them to the engine Vacuum Source (IS that a good idea?) or sperate them to diff vacuum sources. There's a nipple on the Turbo and I was going to connect the Vacuum Source from the Wastegate to it but decided NOT. Well, i 'll try to mess with it again but IF anyone knows what's going on with it, please give some advise cause it doesn't sound and perform right when i increase the power. I have pictures but working on how to put them up here. (P>S) The BOV doesn't make that "psshhhh" sound like other's people BOVs do.. I talked to some guy and he said that's a Turbo lag and it happened to alot of turbo car, but he didn't tell me what's the problem is and what is lag? Also, someguy thinks that the turbo may not running or pushing any air into the intake but I've checked to see if there's a leak on the Pipes or if the turbo is running or not and everything was working right...Still don't know what's going on.[/IMG]

first thing first, if you have a internal wastegate turbo, the vaccum line have to hook up to the turbo or else there's nothing to release the boost.

you need to tee your bov off manifold vaccum not to the wastegate.

please do yourself a big favor, dont start the car before have someone knowledgeable to clear the vaccum line for you

whoever told you about turbo lag is a tool, turbo lag is something totally different.

are you running any kind of missing link? check valve to your MAP sensor?

if you dont mind me asking what are you using for fuel management? I am going to flame you if you tell me FMU
